    I just don't see much point in going to bed before 1 or 2... Even if I do have to get up at 7! :D

    burning the midnight oil! I'm good with 6-7 hours of the sleep I guess, 7 being better.



    I wanted to do another driving one to see if different settings would yield better results...of course this one was too long to even try the different settings :eek:

    of the 100MB limit YT has, I got it in @ 90....they then convert it to flash and the end result is 15MB....now I know why I loose so much quality ;)

    The time I went to 5 Walgreen's in 2 Hours....

    the point is to get enough sleep. maybe buffalos don't need sleep but us cylons need our maintenance cycle.

    5 Walgreens in 2 hours?? I'd have to drive for 2 hours just to find a 2nd Walgreens!!

    But it does make one wonder what it was that you were so desperate to find at Walgreens... :p

    What is a cylon anyway?:confused:

    We probaly have 20 WG within 60 miles say, and I'm not telling ;)

    I tried a different render of the video...1MB instead of 3MB bitrate. the 1MB was much less blocky but it was also not nearly as sharp...:confused:

    Fine. Then I'll just come up with my own theory. And it's reminding me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond - but sadly, I can't quote any of it. :(:p

    dude, you have no idea how much I hate it, but what are you going to do? Not my fault YT uses a outdated 2001 codec to encode these things!! :mad::mad::mad:

    I wonder if I could add a sharpening filter to the video to compensate...BRB :p

    Its so cool to see videos that look like legos were used instead of people.

    and millions of them are like that right! myspace does a better job encoding the videos :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    of course the more movement the more you are susceptible to that. I've got the movement

    ---------------


    one thing to remember, hit the resize button to see the video in the natural 320x240 and then the pixelation isn't so bad

    if you go to 10 pixels by 10 pixels then it really isn't bad at all.
